What danish coffee does

Danish Coffee ApS is a privately held Danish coffee roasting and brand company headquartered in Randers, Denmark, operating with approximately 6 employees and a portfolio of three wholly-owned sub-brands: Kaffeagenterne (retail coffee for private customers), Farm Mountain (specialty Arabica coffee), and ICED Espresso (ready-to-mix hand-brewed espresso shots in a globally design-protected format). The company runs an in-house roasting facility and sources green coffee directly from 932 farmer families on Mount Elgon, Uganda (a partnership established in 2007) and from 17 other countries, giving it end-to-end control from origin to finished product.

Danish Coffee generates revenue through five primary streams: B2B wholesale coffee sales via its account-based e-commerce platform (danishcoffee.dk), private label/white-label roasting and packaging services for retailers and other businesses across 26+ coffee varieties, office coffee supply (36 SKUs), corporate gifting baskets, and event hosting at its Randers roastery. It also sells a 40-SKU loose leaf tea assortment and operates consumer storefronts at kaffeagenterne.dk and icedespresso.com. The ICED Espresso format, produced at origin and shipped in bottles (500ml with 16 shots) and Bag-in-Box (3L with 96 shots), represents a differentiated ready-to-drink product.

The company positions itself as a social enterprise aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals, employing people with reduced work capacity alongside coffee professionals, and has received CSR-focused recognition including the CSR-fondens pris for globalt partnerskab (2012), Paul Harris Fellow (2018), and Årets CSR virksomhed i Randers Kommune (2019). It serves customers in Denmark and Sweden, distributes via GLS and Danish Freight for larger orders, and exposes no external investors, parent entities, or funding rounds in the available data.
